Rated 5 out of 5�by jt2016 soccer goal net Great for kids ! Product is exactly what I had in mind gor the children. They love having an actual goal to go for. March 30, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by Dad Great Set up took about 20 minutes and most of it in setting up net and clips. My sons enjoyed it and does was its intended to do. Only issue I had was with u shaped stakes that hold base not being long enough to hold on soft ground after kicks to post but I improvised with longer nails. March 29, 2016
Rated 2 out of 5�by Vtmom Not very sturdy. Poor net design. The frame of this goal was easy to assemble but it keeps coming apart. It was difficult to attach the net to the frame. Poor design. My kids are using it, but they have to stop to reassemble often. Would not recommend. March 28, 2016
Rated 3 out of 5�by MikeD Doesn't stay together I bought this for my daughter and every time she kicks the ball into the net the plastic comes apart. We are constantly putting the net back together. I was hoping for a better put together product. November 3, 2015
Rated 3 out of 5�by Mario2u Good for the price You can't go wrong for the price, not intended for larger kids or adults. This is made for 7 and under to practice. Easy to put together and folds up for storage. October 27, 2015

Stayed here on business, and unfortunately (or maybe fortunately based on other reviews) did not have time to enjoy the casino or dining options. The room was fantastic, very contemporary, wonderul amenities, clean and classy. My only complaint: my office manager booked the room and sent in prepayment authorization information and also called to confirm they had the prepayment. Upon checkin, they claimed it was not prepaid, and I had to use my personal card for the room. My office manager called and talked to management to clear it up, and they took care of it. Just a hassle and waste of time when arrangements are made and confirmed beforehand, but it was resolved.

This reel did not arrive in the blister pack, but in the boxed version. This means that the parts list and full instructions were included--nice! This is absolutely the best reel that I have ever owned, save for the 2000FG model, that is! I purchased this reel to replace an aging Shakespeare Cirrus reel that had the same QuickFire-like trigger system; however, this reel is superior in that the line does not wrap around the trigger as the Shakespeare model did. This reel is far more balanced and smooth when compared with the Shakespeare. At this time, it is a little tough to get the bailer to reset on retrieve, but this should soften after use. The best feature of this reel is definitely the Quickfire II; for a kayak angler, setting the bailer at the right position is one less thing to have to worry about!
This is a great reel, I have three of them 1000FG, 2500GF and 4000FG. Very smooth, and the trigger is super.
This is the best spinning reel for the money that I have ever used. At my age I have tried a lot of them. The action is real smooth and the reel-in is smooth. You can lose a lot of fish if you have to fight with the reel. There was real good operating instructions in the package. My neighbor recommended this reel to me and I tried it out. Really liked it and went home and ordered one. The delivery time was fast and no damage to the package. I tried the local WalMart store but they were out so I used the website to get mine. Highly recommend this reel to all of my friends.
This is my 5th Shimano reel and it won't be the last. It has a wobble free retrieve that's hard to beat. The quickfire casting is sweet.
These Syncopate reels are built fairly well for the price. I have always liked the Quickfire System on Shimano's, it's really helpful when you want to cast fast. I prefer the Shimano Spirex RG reel over the Sycopate because of its fighting rear drag.The Spirex model also seems like a much smoother reel when you are retrieving on it. The Spirex is defenitly better reel but it cost twice as much. The Syncopates is good value reel, and it cast really well, and it works good with braided line. I have heard people make comments that the braided line slips on these reel. On almost all spinning reels you have to put on a backing tape or a small amount of monofiliment on the spool so that the line doesn't slip. For the money you can't go wrong with a Syncopate. If I lose one, or tear it up, I will be replacing it with another one.
The Shimano Syncopate is a quality fishing reel, the 2500 that I purchased is a medium sized fresh water reel and features a "quick fire" casting feature that is hard to find in other reels. I use the reel primarily for lake fishing, shore and trawling (kayak). Overall the reel operates very smoothly and is easy to cast..........
smooth, durable and reasonably priced
I bought 2 of these, 2500 and 4000. I've bought a few before so I've been using the Syncopates for years. Long casts and smooth retrieves. Easy to fight fish. Third cast with the 4000 brought in a 6 3/4 pound bass on the pond in my back yard.
Grandson was extremely please with the reel.
I bought this to replace an old ultra-light reel I had for many years. This reel preformed wonderfully, with being so smooth. It also added about 20 ft to my casting compared to the older reel. The price is right and it seems to do everything I needed. It's so smooth on the retrieval you feel everything with those 1/4 ounce jigs. Very quite also. Only have had it out once since I got it but I have to brag it up.
Great reel... can't believe the quality for such a low price. I have used Shimano reels
since the mid '80 and love them, this one is no exception. I actually bought it
in 3 sizes... 1000, 2500, and 4000. All 3 are Awesome. Super smooth action, Great balance, Nothing bad to say... seriously... not a single complaint.
The reel is very smooth. Hard finding reels with trigger anymore, which I love. Spirex is more money but is subject to freezing up a bit when it gets wet. I don't seem to have that problem with Syncopate, and is every bit as smooth but more reliable. Can't beat it for $30!!!
This is a Great light weight (1000 model) one hand casting spinning reel. it is quiet and smooth and has given me no troubles with line tangles. Shimano is a good name, I have a 20+ year old Shimano rod and reel I still use regularly I just wanted another.
I have used the Shimano products for years and find them hard to beat at this level of price.. I use the 1000 series for light weight tackle on crappie and white bass. Does excellent job. Quick Fire action on the reel is a great benefit
For the price this is an alright reel. I bought this reel and a Pfluger GX Trion at the same time. The Pfluger is $10 more but it is worth it. I would recommend getting the Pfluger over this reel.
I love my new Shimano Reel and it goes well with my new Ugly Stick Spinning Rod. Great purchase in my mind.
We own several fishing reels, we bought this one for our 20 year old granddaughter who loves fishing anything outdoors! Her grandfather let her use my fishing rod and reel with the trigger handle and she loved it. So, with this one she'll really be excited and will go fishing ASAP as we have 2 large ponds on our farm on Easter Sunday "her birthday".
Solid reel. Quickfire II is a plus.

Recently I was in Europe for a couple of weeks including stops at Storage Networking World (SNW) Europe in Frankfurt, StorageExpo Holland, Ceph Day in Amsterdam (object and cloud storage), and Nijkerk where I delivered two separate 2 day, and a single 1 day seminar.
At the recent StorageExpo Holland event in Utrecht, I gave a couple of presentations, one on cloud, virtualization and storage networking trends, the other taking a deeper look at Solid State Devices (SSD's). As in the past, StorageExpo Holland was great in a fantastic venue, with many large exhibits and great attendance which I heard was over 6,000 people over two days (excluding exhibitor vendors, vars, analysts, press and bloggers) which was several times larger than what was seen in Frankfurt at the SNW event.
Both presentations were very well attended and included lively interactive discussion during and after the sessions. The theme of my second talk was SSD, the question is not if, rather what to use where, how and when which brings us up to this post.
For those who have been around or using SSD for more than a decade outside of cell phones, camera, SD cards or USB thumb drives, that probably means DRAM based with some form of data persistency mechanisms. More recently mention SSD and that implies nand flash-based, either MLC or eMLC or SLC or perhaps emerging mram or PCM. Some might even think of NVRAM or other forms of SSD including emerging mram or mem-resistors among others, however lets stick to nand flash and dram for now.
Often in technology what is old can be new, what is new can be seen as old, if you have seen, experienced or done something before you will have a sense of DejaVu and it might be evolutionary. On the other hand, if you have not seen, heard, experienced, or found a new audience, then it can be revolutionary or maybe even an industry first ;).
Technology evolves, gets improved on, matures, and can often go in cycles of adoption, deployment, refinement, retirement, and so forth. SSD in general has been an on again, off again type cycle technology for the past several decades except for the past six to seven years. Normally there is an up cycle tied to different events, servers not being fast enough or affordable so use SSD to help address performance woes, or drives and storage systems not being fast enough and so forth.
Btw, for those of you who think that the current SSD focused technology (nand flash) is new, it is in fact 25 years old and still evolving and far from reaching its full potential in terms of customer deployment opportunities.
Nand flash memory has helped keep SSD practical for the past several years riding the similar curve that is keeping hard disk drives (HDD's) that they were supposed to replace alive. That is improved reliability, endurance or duty cycle, better annual failure rate (AFR), larger space capacity, lower cost, and enhanced interfaces, packaging, power and functionality.
DRAM historically at least for enterprise has been the main option for SSD based solutions using some form of data persistency. Data persistency options include battery backup combined with internal HDD's to de stage information from the DRAM before power was lost. TMS (recently bought by IBM) was one of the early SSD vendors from the DRAM era that made the transition to flash including being one of the first many years ago to combine DRAM as a cache layer over nand flash as a persistency or de-stage layer. This would be an example of if you were not familiar with TMS back then and their capacities, you might think or believe that some more recent introductions are new and revolutionary, and perhaps they are in their own right or with enough caveats and qualifiers.
An emerging trend, which for some will be Dejavu, is that of using more DRAM in combination with nand flash SSD.
Oracle is one example of a vendor who IMHO rather quietly (intentionally or accidentally) has done this in the 7000 series storage systems as well as ExaData based database storage systems. Rest assured they are not alone and in fact many of the legacy large storage vendors have also piled up large amounts of DRAM based cache in their storage systems. For example EMC with 2TByte of DRAM cache in their VMAX 40K, or similar systems from Fujitsu HP, HDS, IBM and NetApp (including recent acquisition of DRAM based CacheIQ) among others. This has also prompted the question of if SSD has been successful in traditional storage arrays, systems or appliances as some would have you believe not, click here to learn more and cast your vote.
So is the future in the past? Some would say no, some will say yes, however IMHO there are lessons to learn and leverage from the past while looking and moving forward.
Early SSD's were essentially RAM disks, that is a portion of main random access memory (RAM) or what we now call DRAM set aside as a non persistent (unless battery backed up) cache or device. Using a device driver, applications could use the RAM disk as though it were a normal storage system. Different vendors springing up with drivers for various platforms and disappeared as their need were reduced with faster storage systems, interfaces and ram disks drives supplied by vendors, not to mention SSD devices.
Oh, for you tech trivia types, there was also database machines from the late 80s such as Briton Lee that would offload your database processing functions to a specialized appliance. Sound like Oracle ExaData I, II or III to anybody?
Ok, so we have seen this movie before, no worries, old movies or shows get remade, and unless you are nostalgic or cling to the past, sure some of the remakes are duds, however many can be quite good.
Same goes with the remake of some of what we are seeing now. Sure there is a generation that does not know nor care about the past, its full speed ahead and leverage what will get them there.
Thus we are seeing in memory databases again, some of you may remember the original series (pick your generation, platform, tool and technology) with each variation getting better. With 64 bit processor, 128 bit and beyond file system and addressing, not to mention ability for more DRAM to be accessed directly, or via memory address extension, combined with memory data footprint reduction or compression, there is more space to put things (e.g. no such thing as a data or information recession).
Lets also keep in mind that the best IO is the IO that you do not have to do, and that SSD which is an extension of the memory map plays by the same rules of real estate. That is location matters.
Thus, here we go again for some of you (DejaVu), while for others get ready for a new and exciting ride (new and revolutionary). We are back to the future with in memory database which while for a time will take some pressure from underlying IO systems until they once again out grow server memory addressing limits (or IT budgets).
However for those who do not fall into a false sense of security, no fear, as there is no such thing as a data or information recession. Sure as the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, sooner or later those IO's that were or are being kept in memory will need to be de-staged to persistent storage, either nand flash SSD, HDD or somewhere down the road PCM, mram and more.
There is another trend that with more IOs being cached, reads are moving to where they should resolve which is closer to the application or via higher up in the memory and IO pyramid or hierarchy (shown above).
Thus, we could see a shift over time to more writes and ugly IOs being sent down to the storage systems. Keep in mind that any cache historically provides temporal relieve, question is how long of a temporal relief or until the next new and revolutionary or DejaVu technology shows up.
Ok, nuff said (for now).
Cheers Gs

In addition to all the benefits, IoT is also bringing new kind of customer experience challenges - cars that unlock themselves, thermostats turning houses into saunas and baby video monitors broadcasting over the internet. This list can only increase because while IoT services should be intuitive and simple to use, the delivery ecosystem is a myriad of potential problems as IoT explodes complexity. So finding a performance issue is like finding the proverbial needle in the haystack.

Tenchu 2: Birth of the Stealth Assassins User Reviews
The Tenchu Tradition ContinuesSummary:
TENCHU 2: Birth of the Stealth Assassins is an excellent new chapter in the incredibly unique and original Tenchu game series. In this follow up game to the immensely popular TENCHU: Stealth Assassins, the developers improved greatly in numerous aspects although unfortunately they left a few key things out. Tenchu 2 is an excellent game nonetheless and is far from disappointing as numerous follow-ups tend to be. In my opinion it is worth every penny and will be a welcome addition to anybody's collection of games regardless of preferences.
The story is very dominant in this...
this game rocksThe good:
i love this game, quite possibly the best game ive playeed in a whileSummary:
this game rules, ive played alot of games but very few have i liked this much. the story is excellent and the moves are great. there is nouthing better than a stealth game. the kill moves make the game more realistic. the only thing i would change is that you should be able to kill the bosses in stealth as well as the regular enemys.
Some new additions, but not quite as perfect as the originalThe good:
Everything is amazing! Swimming, bonus levels, new weapons, better graphics, better kills
Dodgy AI, sticky camera, and getting spotted when you shouldn'tSummary:
If you have never touched this game, put everything down, and go buy it and its prequel, because you will want to be prepared when Tenchu 3 comes out. This game is intense. You are a Ninja, not like that other game. You are a stealth-laden sword stabbing killing machine.
You can leap from rooftops, snap spines, impale unsuspecting victims, and even decapitate innocents (points get deducted, but oh well, how's about a nice blood bath.) The voice overs are amusing in their stereotypical melodrama, but the real aspect that shines through it all is the gameplay. Cats meow at you, dogs bark and ...
Part 2 not all that...The good:
I liked some of the new weapons, like the blow dart and fire splash. Also the swimming and breathing under water was a good element. I also liked the way the ninjas look when the duck.The bad:
There where a couple of things I didnt like about this game, for instanc I found that prt 2 is aimed at a younger audience. For example theres more bright stages, some goofier enemy's, and less or no"assisiation" like missions like prt1. Stupid blinder enemies, no music, the camera messed me up at times, because somehow the camera ends up behind me while doing a mission, it harder to reuse the rice like in prt 1, once they pick it up here, its gone. The attacking also bothered me a bit to, cause you'll attack them and they'll end up behind you. The acting was so-so . This game also reminds me of the Ninja Turtles with your young ninjas and their master, plus the bad ninja clan planing to take over the world. I didnt like a couple of the stages because there mostly outside in a wooded area, not much mansions or castles. Finally I wish they would have put a De-bug mode like in prt 1, that was an off the hook secret.Summary:
When I first heard about Tenchu 2 coming out I was like"yea, more new assisination missions" but after the first day I was like"umm...?". This game didnt have my expectations and felt like a 3-d version of a Nintendo game with stealth. But on the good side I was pretty fond of some new stealth kills and stealing the enemy's weapons and dragging their corpse. I just hope Tenchu 3 takes the good of both parts and puts it in one.
Tenchu 2The good:
Great death scenes, decent story line (the death uis better), kool maps, mission editor is always a plus, and nifty items. that's right, nifty.The bad:
Somewhat repetative, horrible dialogue, too much like a samurai movie and that's about it.Summary:
Honestly a great waste of time.See how many hours go by trying to get grand master on all stages and making the most difficult (but not impossible) stage ever and youll find that youd been better off goin to work. lol, j/k, a great game all around, if you havent tryed it.... well then you should. Buh-bye.
tenchu 2The good:
everythingThe bad:
I think tenchu2 is the best platform game i have ever played on.I think the story line is brilliant the charectors are wickid.I think some of the best bits of the game are the stealth kills and the items and all the differnt enemys the blood is cool and the bosses are kick ass.The anly draw back is that you can only be three players becouse like once you've compliated it with the all three players you should beable to be lady kagami or genbu,zusaku are someone else like that.But averall it is a woop ass game.

blur background
Someone can guide me to understand how can I take a picture with blur background using the external flash in my Nikon D700 (like nice bokeh)
Visit my Nikonians gallery.
#1. "RE: blur background" | In response to Reply # 0
Might help us to have a little more info of WHAT it is exactly you want, what shooting scenario you are dealing with ( portraits, close up of flowers..?? ) . Bokeh is a result of a a wide enough aperture to render your subject in focus yet your background out of focus.The quality of the bokeh is affected by the lens itself ( many are known for their 'creamy' bokeh, some not so well respected) and how far your subject is from the background. As far as using the flash , as far as I understand it , it doesn't have an effect on the bokeh. But maybe I do not understand your question

#2. "RE: blur background" | In response to Reply # 0
If you are using flash, you need to be able to set a large aperture while making sure the flash doesn't overexpose your picture. It is much easier to get good bokeh when not using the on-camera flash. If you were using a speedlight or some other external flash, you could bounce the flash to reduce the amount of light hitting your subject.
What is the maximum aperture of the lens you are using?
#5. "RE: blur background" | In response to Reply # 4
You should be able to get some nice bokeh at 70mm and f2.8. 2.8 is fast enough so that you get some shallow depth of field, which is easier as you go up in focal length.
#6. "RE: blur background" | In response to Reply # 0
If you want a blurred background I suggest you not use the flash unless you just have to have some light on the subject.
In that case the subject will be illuminated and most likely the background will be black rather than blurred, depending on the distance to the subject and the distance to the background.
Camera to subject distance makes a great difference.
Set the lens at 2.8 and get as close to the subject as you can.
If the background is some distance behind the subject, you just nailed it.
The best lens to use for an exceptional blur to the background is the 135mm F2 AF-DC lens. With this lens you can easily set the lens to give the bokeh you desire, setting the F stop at 2.0.

A study published in today's Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences concludes that copper may be one of the main environmental factors that trigger the onset and enhance the progression of Alzheimer's disease. The chemical element looks like it prevents the clearance while accelerating the accumulation of toxic proteins in the brain, notes the research team.
"It is clear that, over time, copper's cumulative effect is to impair the systems by which amyloid beta is removed from the brain," says Rashid Deane, Ph.D., a professor in the University of Rochester Medical Center (URMC) department of neurosurgery, member of the Center for Translational Neuromedicine, and lead author of the study. "This impairment is one of the key factors that cause the protein to accumulate in the brain and form the plaques that are the hallmark of Alzheimer's disease."
Copper's presence in the food supply is ubiquitous. It is found in drinking water carried by copper pipes, nutritional supplements, and in certain foods such as red meats, shellfish, nuts, and many fruits and vegetables. The mineral plays an important and beneficial role in nerve conduction, bone growth, the formation of connective tissue, and hormone secretion.
However, the new study shows that copper can also accumulate in the brain and cause the blood-brain barrier to break down, resulting in the toxic accumulation of the protein amyloid beta, a by-product of cellular activity. Using both mice and human brain cells, Dr. Deane and his colleagues conducted a series of experiments that have pinpointed the molecular mechanisms by which copper accelerates the pathology of Alzheimer's disease.
The research team dosed normal mice with copper over a three-month period. The exposure consisted of trace amounts of the metal in drinking water and was one-tenth of the water quality standards for copper established by the Environmental Protection Agency. The investigators found that the copper made its way into the blood system and accumulated in the vessels that feed blood to the brain, specifically in the cellular walls of the capillaries. These cells are a critical part of the brain's defense system and help regulate the passage of molecules to and from brain tissue. In this instance, the capillary cells prevent the copper from entering the brain. However, over time the metal can accumulate in these cells with toxic effect.
The researchers observed that the copper, via oxidation, disrupted the function of lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1), which normally removes amyloid beta from the brain. The scientists observed this phenomenon in both mouse and human brain cells.
The researchers then looked at the impact of copper exposure on mouse models of Alzheimer's disease. In these mice, the cells that form the blood-brain barrier have broken down and become leaky. This change allows elements such as copper to pass unimpeded into the brain tissue. They observed that the copper stimulated activity in neurons that increased the production of amyloid beta. The copper also interacted with amyloid beta in a manner that caused the proteins to bind together in larger complexes, creating logjams of the protein that the brain's waste disposal system cannot clear.
"Copper is an essential metal and it is clear that these effects are due to exposure over a long period of time," explained Dr. Deane.

Another Autoimmune Mystery?
I have a friend who was diagnosed with Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP). Do you have any information on potential causes, but more importantly, alternative treatments for this condition?
Answer (Published 4/10/2002)
ITP is an autoimmune diseases, one of those disorders in which the immune system erroneously attacks the body. In this case, the targets are blood platelets, cells that help stop bleeding. The word "thrombocytopenia" means a decrease in platelets; "purpura" refers to the purple areas on the skin and in the mouth where bleeding has occurred as a result of the platelet shortage; "idiopathic" signifies that the cause is unknown although some cases are triggered by infection, pregnancy or other immune disorders including systemic lupus erythematosus.

The main symptom of ITP, apart from skin bruising, is bleeding, usually from the nose and gums but sometimes in the digestive or urinary tracts. In addition, people with this condition may notice tiny red dots on their skin or mucous membranes, also signs of abnormal bleeding.
As far as treatment is concerned, clearly if ITP is related to infection, the first step is to treat that. More generally, conventional medical treatment depends on how severe symptoms are. In mild cases, which are often self-limited, no treatment may be needed. For more severe cases, hematologists (medical specialists who treat blood disorders) may recommend any one of a long list of drugs or treatments ranging from prednisone, a steroid, to other heavy-duty immunosuppressive drugs. Another common conventional treatment is removal of the spleen which destroys platelets covered with antibodies during the autoimmune process. As a result of the surgery, platelet counts often rise dramatically, but this drastic treatment doesn't deal with the cause of the problem.
Because autoimmune diseases tend to flare up in response to emotional ups and downs, I would suggest trying some form of mind/body treatment - hypnosis, psychotherapy and guided imagery therapy are all worth exploring, as are Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine. The following measures can be helpful for anyone with an autoimmune disorder:

MIAMI GARDENS, FL - FEBRUARY 07: NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell watches teams warm up prior to the start of Super Bowl XLIV between the Indianapolis Colts and the New Orleans Saints on February 7, 2010 at Sun Life Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida (Photo by Chris Graythen/Getty Images)
When the New York Jets host the Miami Dolphins at MetLife Stadium on Sunday, the officials assigned to the game will be throwing a different colored penalty flag in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, thanks to a brilliant idea courtesy of a fifth-grader in New Jersey. Dante Carlo, an 11-year-old from Marlboro, N.J., recently wrote a letter (image of letter below) to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell suggesting that referees use pink flags during games in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. (click to enlarge) The text (via NFL.com): "My name is Dante Cano. I am 11 years old and I am from Marlboro, New Jersey. I wanted to know if you could use my idea of pink penalty flags in October for breast cancer awareness. Please write back." Incredibly, Dante's letter found its way into Goodell's hands, who agreed with the young man that it would be a great idea. So, during Sunday's game between the Jets and the Dolphins, officials will be using pink penalty flags. And courtesy of an invite from Roger Goodell himself, Cano and his family will be at MetLife Stadium to not only attend the game, but to present the officials with the pink penalty flags before kickoff. Said Goodell about Cano: "Dante had a great idea and I am looking forward to meeting with him on Sunday to put it into action. Sometimes the simplest ideas can be the best. I applaud Dante for sending in his recommendation." The young man's idea is brilliant, but even better, a great response from Goodell. Jonathan Vilma and his attorneys wish they had that kind of access to the Commish. TweetThe post Refs to use pink flags during Jets-Dolphins game, thanks to 11-year-old's letter (pics) appeared first on Sportress of Blogitude.

Luau Recipes
My hubby and I have been invited to a luau themed potluck. Any suggestions on what to bring that's incredibly tasty, simple, and fits the theme? Thanks in advance! :)
Anything with tropical fruits, like a fruit salad or a sweet & sour kind of dish with pineapple. If you'll have access to a bbq you could do kebabs with pineapple and veggies of your choice (things like cherry tomatoes, colorful peppers, onion, mushrooms, etc). Or chips and mango or pineapple salsa...and/or guacamole. Or coconut black beans http://vegweb.com/index.php?topic=5002.0
Try this! I thought of the recipe from the bryanna clark grogan book
Luckily i found the recipe posted on there!
I make a Hawaiian-inspired baked tofu with sweet onions, soy sauce, pineapple juice, fresh garlic, and ginger. Serve over fluffy white rice with grilled pineapple and onions with tempeh bacon.

'Star Wars' Salutes a Brave Old World
By EDWARD ROTHSTEIN
Published: January 31, 1997
A LONG time ago, in a galaxy not so far away, ''Star Wars'' appeared, light sabers hummed, Wookiees roared and the Force was with us. Only someone held prisoner in a Death Star since 1977 would not know the results of the invasion. George Lucas, who once had a hard time peddling his script idea to the studios, ended up creating his own movie empire with the ''Star Wars Trilogy,'' winning an extraordinary series of bloodless battles at the box office and overturning the rules and expectations that governed movie making and watching.
The coming of ''Star Wars'' brought a galactic change in scale, turning the movie industry into a version of the film's crowded bar, with strange critters and aliens duking it out for big stakes. Special effects and spectacle began to take precedence over story and character.
The film's $323 million take has become a goal to beat for any self-respecting blockbuster, and other film makers have come to covet the nearly $4 billion in licensing income for ''Star Wars'' products. So monumental has this movie become that the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum in Washington will devote an exhibition next fall to the ''Star Wars Trilogy,'' as if it actually represented some palpable advance in space exploration.
Now, recalling the days of his first battles against the Hollywood empire, Mr. Lucas is polishing his hardware like a latter-day Han Solo sprucing up his star ship, rewiring the chassis and replacing worn parts. A refurbished ''Star Wars'' opens today in about 1,800 theaters. Three weeks from now, ''The Empire Strikes Back'' will strike back, and two weeks after that, ''The Return of the Jedi'' will be the climax, preparing the way for three new ''Star Wars'' epics scheduled to begin arriving at the close of the millennium, recounting the origins of Darth Vader and Obi-Wan Kenobi.
This ''Special Edition,'' as the revised trilogy is being called, is the films' first return to the large screen. Negatives have been cleaned and colors restored. Soundtracks have been remastered to suit the sonic expectations that the trilogy once helped foster. Using the latest computer simulations, Mr. Lucas has also added 4 1/2 minutes of bustle, battle and character to ''Star Wars.'' The backwater spaceport Mos Eisley is now filled with lumbering Jurassic-style creatures and whirring machines. An underworld slugpin known as Jabba the Hutt, cut from the original ''Star Wars'' because the overflowing layers of green flab on his corpulent alien frame just didn't look authentic, is now being reinserted using computer graphics, and he has become a waddling menace, a gangster heavy, anticipating his even weightier role in the original third film. And there are other changes as well: a space battle becomes more spectacular, and a ''land speeder'' can be seen hovering in space, not just gliding along.
Only ''Star Wars'' aficionados -- and they are legion -- will be able to tote up the changes, which, at the cost of $10 million, match the film's initial low-budget cost. But they have altered the impact very little. Yes, some scenes are less awkwardly barren and some effects are more polished (though Jabba and Solo still seem to come from different film planets). Some aspects may have even been hurt: the remastered theater soundtrack I heard seemed to have all the defects of hyped-up digital sound: harsh highs, punchy lows and an eerie glaze over the sound effects that make them seem a bit, well, sci-fi like.
The main impact comes not from the alterations but from experiencing this spectacle again in a big theater, with the audience cheering and gasping and (almost) anticipating every turn. The film remains a consummate adventure serial brought to life, possessing refreshing innocence, humor and thrills even after so many imitators have milked the genre.
The only surprise is that after the passage of 20 years, one aspect of ''Star Wars'' screams out in opposition to the high-budget, high-tech, special-effect spectaculars it spawned: this movie celebrates the past, not the future. The ''long ago'' referred to in the opening titles is meant to be taken literally. The movie does not thrive on sci-fi gadgets or imaginings of advanced technology. Its heroes do not depend upon some as yet undiscovered source of energy, some extraordinary material or some futuristic invention. In fact, Han Solo must constantly repair his broken-down starship like some hot-rodder out of Mr. Lucas's ''American Graffiti'' trying to keep a '57 Chevy in working order. Luke Skywalker's home planet is host to scavengers of rusty robots and scrap who lumber around in an enormous sheet metal tank complete with grinding treads. R2-D2 is outmoded even by our standards: this robot, with his beeping and flashing lights, is actually a kind of artificially intelligent Swiss Army Knife, equipped with buzz saw and gear-driven sensory arm.
C-3PO is no more advanced, for all his mastery of six million languages: he is a machine that looks like a human pretending to be a machine, and is as perpetually finicky and prissy as a butler thrust into an uncomfortably filthy room. As for charming Chewbacca, his forte is mid-20th-century electrical work as he fiddles with the crude bundles of wire that run through Solo's dilapidated star freighter. The only sign of advanced technology is in 1950's science-fiction cliches: references to force fields, generators and reactors. Not even anything like the ''Star Trek'' series' late 60's vintage transporters and transcorders show up.

I would like to know how to either ignore upgrading certain ports or unmark them as "outdated".
This is motivated by certain ports failing to upgrade, while I wish to upgrade all the rest. I know about
sudo port install -n, which allows one to install a port without upgrading port dependencies, as in the case of
mongodb requiring an older (not the current) version of the
boost libraries, but this is not applicable here.
For example:
$ sudo port list outdated
gdb @7.5 devel/gdb
py27-scikits-image @0.7.1 python/py-scikits-image
firstname.lastname@example.com fails to update, I would just like to upgrade the others, ie.
py27-scikits-image, without going thru the whole
sudo port list outdated | awk '{print $1}' | grep -v gdb | xargs sudo port upgrade pipeline.
Much appreciated.

Best of the trilogy by far!
This franchise never seems to disappoint and nothing has changed with the third installment of the trilogy.
From the evolution of Elisabeth Swann to the destiny of William Turner and the loveable pirate himself, Captain Jack Sparrow, this finale is visually amazing and contains the most exciting battle probably ever created on screen. Never a dull moment when Gore Verbinski and Jerry Bruckheimer team up.
An absolute must have!!!

Pirates of the caribean is an extremely good franchise
I bought this dvd as part of a set the dvd quality was goodand the price was very good and the seller posted quickly and efficiently. Of course that this was the third installment of the only quality example of a disney ride based franchise didn't hurt. Usually something based on an amusement park attraction has no right to be good but the production was flawless in story, action, effects and casting Johny depp adeptly led a troop of strong performers on a tour deforce of the fifties style pirate adventure, going where only recent developments in cgi could take us. One of the most surprising things was unlike other movies the cgi was a vehicle but not the driver, this was a story driven epic, which often isn't the case.

Not the best, but sufficiently wraps up the trilogy
After the abysmal decisions that came from Pirates 2, this finale of the original trilogy attempts to get back some of the magic that made the first movie so spectacular.
Although nowhere near the excitement of the first, this movie does bring back some better sword fighting and action sequences, although the plot still suffers for trying to conclude with the second film. A great movie if you like the pirates characters.
If you enjoyed the first, seeing the sequels is a must. A disappointment to me, but the final film adds a lot of good action to the bad direction of the characters.

Back To The Past
This is a rollicking movie, with a phenomenal soundtrack, often breathtaking cinematography, an action-laden script, and a delightfully tongue-firmly-in-cheek performance by Johnny Depp as Capt. Jack Sparrow. It is a bit longer than I expected, but that's not bad for an enjoyable viewing experience. The two-disk set limited edition has some wonderful bonus features, too--though one, "Bloopers of the Caribbean," seems to be missing. I couldn't find it anywhere on the DVD set I bought, at least.
Also be warned: if your DVD player is more than 5 years old, the feature film disk may not play properly on your DVD player. It may not play at all. According to the customer service folk at DisneyDVD.com/support, some of the code on the film's disk is too new for older DVD players to read. But the additional features disk plays just fine.
Normally, the 3rd film of a trilogy won't necessarily make sense without one's first having seen the other two, but this film does stand on its own. Still, seeing Pirates I and Pirates II will enhance one's appreciation of what otherwise would be incomprehensible inside jokes in Pirates III.Read full review

We don't know about you, but we never stop fighting the good fight against dry skin, especially come the winter months. Meet the most effective weapon in our arsenal. This dry oil hydrates parched skin and disappears in seconds without any residual stickiness or oiliness. And the scent is truly divine, with fresh notes of Moroccan and Bulgarian rose, grapefruit, vanilla, and the subtlest floral undertones.
I'm not usually a fan of body oil because it tends to leave my skin feeling, well, oily, but this one definitely doesn't. It has a light, delicate floral scent and goes on smooth. It absorbs into the skin really well and leaves just a nice softness. Love this product and will buy more when this bottle runs out!5
I got this as a sample & really like it.. smells great! Seems to have a spicy note & is not a heavy scent. Absorbs well and leaves my skin softer. I don't need to use on my hair although I'm sure it would work. I like it for my hands, legs and face. Not sticky or oily at all.5
